Abstract Summary
The Plug in Gait model (PiG) is a commonly used biomechanical model for clinical gait. Recently, an open access alternative model to the PiG has been released for use. In considering the potential to transition to the new model, we are interested in comparing data calculated by the PiG and the new pyCGM2 models. There was less than 1 degree difference in the majority of joint angles; the exceptions being: a mean difference > 9 degrees for X-axis ankle angle between the PiG model and the 1.0 model; a mean difference > 9 degrees for X-axis foot progression angle between the PiG model and the 1.0 model; and, a difference of >22 degrees in the Z-axis knee angle between the pyCGM2 1.0 and 1.1 models.
